TRUMPTITUDINALITY: THE DANGER OF BORDERLESS GOVERNANCE AND CROSS BORDER MEDDLESOMENESS/INTERFERENCE IN THE AFFAIRS OF OTHER NATIONS…

The Trumpi(ni)zation of Global Governance and the Imminent Global Intifada

Yet let us for the purpose of wishful thinking say Donny Boy would be able to help Nigeria get out of her security mess, but what then will happen to the nearly thirty million out-of-school Nigerian children, with over 89% of these lots coming from the North, the nearly 3 million IDPs in addition to the over 80 million unemployed Nigerian youth, representing over 53% of the total youth population in that country – will the USA give all of them visas to emigrate to Yankee land, and will the US also, help to dismantle the shrines of Almajiranci and Sharia; deliver the North from drugs; put a halt to the Fulani domination of Nigeria; accommodate the IDPs; disband Hisbah; get Nigeria out of the Dark Clubs of the OIC and D-8; return the dispossessed to their ancestral lands and proceed to restructure Nigeria in the UK Model of 4-in-1 country; better still, 6-in-1 country or 2-in-1 country?

Bomb-droppings on smaller and weaker nations of the world by the New America (NA) or the New USA (NUSA) is mere infantile and cowardly expression of bestial braggadocio, an exercise in crude and jungle-like bestial exhibitionism – an irascible/irrational power show of the absurdity of the absurd and a megalomanic delusion of grandeur of a ravenous, but very weak lion – a very insecure and sick man and nation, the overall goal of which is not only to intimidate all the world to fawn and cur for a highly threatened psychopath, whose obsessive compulsive behaviour for war, mass destruction of unimaginable proportion, scatterations of immense magnitude and disorderedness or disorderliness of the monstrous and antediluvian type but to keep all the world in “servile fearfulness.”

This our modern Caesar together with his split personality and magnitudinal and Leviathanic abnormality is a subject of study in psychoanalysis!  Real elephant fells oak and iroko trees and not plants. Let Emperor Trump try dropping his rotten bombs on Russia, China and nuclear-mad North Korea. But why is all the world indulging this maniac and weakling of a man-boy and very fearful him?

AMERICOPERIALISM/AMERIGOPERIALISM/NUSAPERIALISM: THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE MODERN WORLD SPHERES OF INFLUENCE…HOW ‘DADDY’, THE KING OF THE WORLD IS PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF CHINA (Xi) AND RUSSIA (Vlad)…

Firsly, let us look at the present day Trumpoworld hemispheric geopolizonal division of our universe between/amongst the B-3/G-3 (Big/Great Superpowers of Magamerica or Trumpmerica or the New America, China and Russia, using the 6Ws+H – who controls what, which, when, where, why and how?

THE DEATH OF THE SPECIAL RELATION (?), BUT GREENLAND FOR THE GREENLANDERS

INVOKING THE PEACE OF WESTPHALIA (THE WESTPHALIAN SOVERIGNTY), 1646-1648

…Lament and Tears for Europe…Parable of the Parasite and the Host

It is very embarrassing how Europe with the largest global market bloc and spheres of influence and a  once very powerful continent has turned itself into a cocoyam leaf because of its over 80 years of complacency and over/total dependence on America, not only in the realm of security and defence, but in virtually all things, making Europe to now cringe, fawn and cur before Emperor Trump, instead of looking directly into his eyes – eyeball to eyeball, including standing up to him and calling his bluff. Truth is, at the end of the day, Magamerica needs Europe and the world more than Europe and the world will ever need our Emperor Caesar and his New USA (NUSA).

Now that Potentate Trump has invoked, rather exhumed the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 regarding Western-hemispheric control, can Europe remind him that the doctrine in question articulated by President James Monroe, inter alia, following in the path of the Westphalian Project/System of 1646-1648 recognised the sovereignty of nations and non-interference in the affairs of other nations just as Monroeism forbids interference of nations/continents, Europe in particular, in the affairs of the American state.

Can Xerxes also be reminded that these sacrosanct principles are too, an entrenched provision in the UN Charter, particularly Article II and in other international treaties that have earned the modern world a modicum of peace these past 80 years?  Therefore, in like manner, the State of Greenland being a country in Europe, is outside of the operational orbit of MAGAmerica, so Trump and his NUSA Apostles cannot have it. They must therefore, hands off Greenland and be told in no unmistaken term to pack and go (home)!

However, any form of cooperation that is mutually beneficial to all concerned is sure welcome, but Greenland being within the sphere of Europe, only Europe in consultation with the Greenlanders and Denmark can take the lead in whatever they want to do with Greenland if ever there is such a need or into whichever alliance with whichever nation with which they choose to do deal over their own corner of the globe, and under the context of this discourse, hemisphere.

PART OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER AT A GLANCE

…A CALL TO CONSCIENCE AND TO REFLECT

Preamble

WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED

to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and

to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS.

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.

Chapter I: Purposes and Principles

Article 1

The Purposes of the United Nations are:

1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
3. To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
4. To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

Article 2

The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.

1. The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
2. All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
5. All Members shall give the United Nations every assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the present Charter, and shall refrain from giving assistance to any state against which the United Nations is taking preventive or enforcement action.
6. The Organization shall ensure that states which are not Members of the United Nations act in accordance with these Principles so far as may be necessary for the maintenance of international peace and security.
7. Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll.

TRUMPIAN FOLLY…THE DANGER AND THE MADNESS IN THE TRUMPIAN IGNOMINIOUS MISADVENTURE OVER GREENLAND, VENEZUELA AND OTHER POTENTIAL NATIONS

The inherent danger in the ongoing global Trumpian absurdity is that Russia would be right to have back all its former satellite nations that a part of Europe, Western, particularly has like an oyster clawed them onto its armpit/womb just as China too would be right in demanding and actually having back Taiwan, Hong Kong and other countries, realms and climes within its sphere of influence.

And under the NUSAn thinking, Britain and France might have the legitimate right to get China, Russia and the Arabs out of Africa, by way of re-engaging all Africa and the Commonwealth of Nations, not via brutish Trumpianism, but diplomatically in an Alliance of equals. So, Trumpianism, having started, in what direction will it thenceforward lead the modern world and its peoples, and where and how will it end in the face of that global Museum, erroneously referred to as the UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION?

And in this parable, the host did not die but simply weaned the parasite off itself. Therefore, under this global chaos, the world watches to see what becomes the fate of the parasite and its EU/the UK and NATO amongst the spheres of influence and mineral resources (oil) scouts/hunters. Time will tell.

SUMMONS TO THE PRESS IN NIGERIA

Meanwhile, can we appeal to the journalists in Nigeria to go to experts and ask them questions that border on technical and strategic issues, requiring professional and expert advice as they only have the expertise to offer insight and perspectives on these professional, strategic and technical issues which require expertise advice, instead of going to their usual captive audiences - the Soyinkas of this world; Obasanjos of this world; the Shehu Sanis of this world; the Falanas of this world; the Ozekhomes of this world; the Badarus of this world; the Bwalas of this world; the Oshiomoles of this world; the Reuben Abatis of this world; the Kukahs of this world; the Orji Kalus of this world; the Onanugas of this world; the Sowores of this world; the Ganiyu Adams of this world; the Sunday Igbohos of this world; the Kundunsis of this world; including the so-called celebrities’ of this world, etc, etc? Just as it is crass intellectual indolence for a reporter/journalist/columnist not to be adventurous, creative, imaginative, innovative and inventive, it is simply intellectual fraud and gross dishonesty for a public intellectual to be jack of all trades, yet master of none, especially not being humble enough to respond to a reporter’s question by saying: I’m sorry, I’m not able to comment on that question you ‘ve just asked me because it does not fall within my specialist area. However, if you want, I’m happy to give you a non-expert opinion about it as a private citizen, but please go and talk to an expert to offer their expertise and insider knowledge as I believe it would help the Government in the formulation of a policy around the subject matter/area.”

It does seem the captive audience dogarawa (in the sense of gatekeepers) in Nigeria do not reckon with the womenfolk in Nigeria to make headlines, hence they avoid them like plagues!

Henceforth, every reporter must go to editorial meetings with their Source Book to show to, and be marked by their editors regarding their story ideas for the week or the next day and the likely experts and personages they intend to interview for each story idea they had presented at the editorial meeting for the next day or week, as the case may be, for the quality of a platform/medium is determined by the quality or calibre of the persons interviewed by its reporters.

Why should readers spend their hard-earned money to buy a paper/magazine that is habitually interviewing same-old, same-old news personages and how-for-do (how I for do?) individuals?

• Project is a generational legacy, says monarch

Ondo State Governor, Dr Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, on Thursday flagged off the construction of 8.8-kilometre Akure–Ijare Road.

Flagging off the road project at Ikota Junction in Ijare, Ifedore Local Government Area, Governor Aiyedatiwa described the project as a fulfilment of his administration’s promise to deliver tangible development across the state.

The Governor said his administration measures governance by visible improvements in the lives of the people rather than empty promises.

He noted that the Akure–Ijare road had suffered years of neglect, leaving traders, farmers, commuters, and students distressed by poor access, erosion-prone sections and life-threatening conditions, but assured that the narrative would now change permanently.

He commended leaders across Ifedore, including royal and religious figures, for their prayers and support, and praised the contractor, Dortmund and Company Nigeria Limited, as a fully indigenous construction firm selected under his administration’s OUR EASE Agenda, stressing that indigenous contractors would be prioritised wherever competence is equal.

Describing the road as one of the most strategic infrastructure investments in Ifedore and Ondo Central Senatorial District, the Governor outlined its features, which include a 14.6-metre carriageway, two-metre shoulders, reinforced concrete drainages, solar-powered streetlights, pedestrian walkways, bus lay-bys, landscaping and road furniture befitting a major access route into the state capital.

He said the project would be executed in three phases to reduce disruption, with palliative works beginning immediately to make the existing road motorable within four weeks, giving the contractor an 18-month deadline and promising personal supervision of the project.

Governor Aiyedatiwa also highlighted other roads completed or ongoing under his administration in the past 22 months, covering over 150 kilometres across the senatorial districts. These include the 9.75km Ute Township Roads (94.85% completed); the 4.7km dual carriageway from Ikare Junction–FMC–Mobil Junction–Ifesanmi Junction Road, Owo (83.47% completed); 17.54km asphalt overlay of selected roads in four Akoko LGAs (ongoing); 15km Oda Road dualisation (commissioned June 2025); 10km Akure–Idanre Road (ongoing); Ijoka Road dual carriageway (ongoing); 4.74km Oba-Ile Housing Estate Road (95% completed); solar streetlight projects in Akure Township (86.14% completed); 12.14km selected roads in Okitipupa (78.99% completed); and 10km selected roads in Ilaje LGA (ongoing).

He added that the new road would reduce travel time from Akure to Ijare from over 30 minutes to less than 10 minutes.

The Governor thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the economic reforms that have boosted federal allocations and enabled Ondo State to execute major projects without borrowing.

He appealed to residents for patience during construction, warned against vandalism, and urged youths to protect the project.

In his welcome address, the Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands and Housing, Engr. Abiola Olawoye, explained that the project involves two roads: a 6.2km stretch from Akure to Ijare and a 2.8km spur to Ikota.

He said: “We have two types of pavements, rigid pavements and flexible pavements. Flexible pavement is an asphalt pavement while rigid pavement is concrete pavement.”

Engr. Olawoye urged the contractor to complete the project to time.

The Chairman of Ifedore Local Government, Dipo Ajibola, described the flag-off as the fulfilment of a long-standing desire of the people, noting that the road would ease movement for students, workers, and residents.

The Chairman of Egbe Ijare, Mr. Akin Oluwole, commended the governor for easing travel difficulties and appealed for similar attention to Ilere, Irese, Aaye, and Araromi Omo Aladan. He urged the government to revive the old Ijare–Ikere Road and the local skill acquisition centre while pledging the community’s continued support.

He added: “We thank you. We want to assure you that we know the good deeds and that it is loaded, but it’s a gesture we are not going to take for granted. We want to pray that, as we say in business, as the cash flow accommodates, and with time, this largesse is also extended to other communities.”

The Owa of Araromi Omo Aladan, Oba Jaiyeoba Bamidele, said the governor had honoured his campaign promise to the people of the area and created a generational legacy, assuring him of the community’s loyalty.

The CEO of Dortmund Company, Pius Ayodele, promised strict adherence to project specifications and pledged to deliver quality work in collaboration with government engineers and consultants.

In her vote of thanks, thr Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr Seun Osamaye, said the road would serve as a lifeline for women, traders, farmers, caregivers, and young people by enhancing safety and expanding access to commerce, education, healthcare and essential services.

She described it as a milestone strengthening the connection between the state capital and major communities and expressed gratitude to the governor on behalf of the state’s women and children, and reaffirmed the project’s importance for the future.

Also in attendance were the Deputy Governor, Dr Olayide Adelami; Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Olamide Oladiji; Secretary to the State Government, Dr Taiwo Fasoranti; Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Ololade Gbegudu; Commissioner for Finance, Mrs Omowunmi Isaac; local government chairmen; former Speakers Ayo Agbonmuseri and Bamidele Oleyeloogun; Customs Area Controller Admiral Sanmi; and several royal fathers.
